Boxing champion Floyd Mayweather has recently found himself at the center of controversy after rumors began to circulate about an alleged attack on him by an angry mob. According to the Jerusalem Post, the incident took place in London, where Mayweather was making an appearance at a jewelry store. As he was leaving, a group of people began to follow him, and one bystander is said to have asked him about his stance on Israel. Mayweather reportedly responded by saying, "I'm proud to support the Jews," which sparked a negative reaction from some members of the crowd.
Reports claim that one member of the mob even attempted to physically assault Mayweather, but the boxer himself has since come forward to set the record straight. In a statement shared on social media, Mayweather denied that he was ever attacked and explained that his security team was simply doing their job to keep the situation under control. He also clarified that he was in London for a quick shopping trip and was not involved in any altercations.
Videos of the incident have since surfaced, showing Mayweather being escorted out of the store by his security team as the mob continues to follow him. The boxer appears visibly frustrated in the footage, but it is clear that his team is simply trying to get him safely into his vehicle. The Daily Mail also reported that some members of the crowd were heard shouting racial slurs at Mayweather and his team. This is not the first time the boxer has faced backlash for his support of Israel, as he has been vocal about his stance on the country's conflict with Hamas.
In October of 2023, Mayweather arranged for a jet to deliver supplies to Israel and expressed his support for the country on Instagram. He has continued to show his support over the years, most recently announcing the Mayweather Israel Initiative. The initiative aims to provide birthday gifts to Israeli orphans over the course of the next year, with a mobile van distributing the gifts throughout the region. Mayweather has expressed his gratitude to those who have helped make this possible and has urged widows and orphans to remain strong in the face of adversity.
It is clear that Mayweather's support for Israel has sparked controversy, but the boxing champion remains steadfast in his beliefs. He has not backed down from his stance and continues to use his platform to show his support for the country and its people. Mayweather's actions and statements have garnered both praise and criticism, but he remains unapologetic in his support for Israel.
